All students work within the college’s eight schools, depending on their primary study instrument. The schools specialise in composition, wind, brass and percussion, keyboard studies, popular music, strings, conducting, vocal studies and opera, and academic studies. There are both undergraduate and postgraduate programmes available within the schools. The college is committed to preparing its students for a successful future in the music industry. Throughout the year students are offered a variety of professional and performance opportunities. The college’s Professional Experience Schemes gives select students the chance to work with renowned orchestras and musicians. RNCN also encourages all of its undergraduates to complete a Work Experience Placement during their studies. The college is located in Manchester, a city in the north of England, UK.
